Who says you can’t enjoy a winter wonderland by the beach? Ice at Santa Monica brings an 8,000-square-foot ice-skating rink to the heart of the city, just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Perfect for families, couples, or solo skaters, this seasonal event adds a magical touch to Santa Monica’s winter charm. Skates are available for rent, and the rink is open daily, making it a must-visit for a festive outing. Insider Tip: Warm up with a cup of hot cocoa from one of the Gene’s cafe after your skate session.
